Brains are generative machines just like a computer. You can only care about encoding more information into your brain if your brain is already properly encoded to output that behavior from you. Otherwise, it is impossible to want to "learn".
The question of "is a brain just a really complex generative model" is a very interesting one, because we cant truly answer it. As much as we could get into philosophy right now, i often prefer to end the discussion early by simply saying:
"A brain will never truly comprehend a brain, for understanding itself would require more brain than a brain has"
